For the Love of David Tennant...

It had to happen at some point. Even as easy it is to conceal one's inner feelings on the Internet, I can no longer hold my passion in much longer...




I am in love with David Tennant.





*silence*




I know I just lost half of you in a flurry of angry shoes and disappointed sighs. "She's one of those!" you say. "A pathetic fangirl with a cardboard cutout in her bedroom!"


Sadly, this is true. I am a fangirl. And I'm goddamn proud.



Why should we be afraid to express our nerdiness? Why should we be afraid of loving random Scottish actors who are twenty-four years our senior? Why shouldn't we profess our love in career-following and merch-purchasing?



I'm tangenting, but the truth is this: Love isn't love. Love is so much more than the cookiecutter Dictionary.com definition we label it with. Love isn't just gazing into your boyfriend's eyes at the lunch table, or laughing over dirty jokes with your friends. Love can also be for people you've never met, and will never meet. Love can be watching someone and thinking "Wow. I can connect with this person even though he'll never know me."



That's why I think nerdy actor (and actress) love is so great. It gives people a chance to exercise the love the world has forced away. The love of the characters someone plays and the cadence of their voice and the stupid phrases screenwriters put in their mouths. The sub-love.




So, Reader, if you love someone deplorably nerdy, don't hide it all away. Have a lovely weekend and indulge in the sub-love!



Disclaimer: For those of you who don't know, David Tennant played the Doctor in Doctor Who, Hamlet in Hamlet, and Katurian in The Pillowman (which I don't recommend for children under the age of thirty due to child murder and language)(but mostly child murder) I also do not condone stalking and other freaky behaviors towards your sub-love. Also, he was a gift...
